The 2020 Toyota Supra. As the 2019 Detroit auto show begins this week with media previews, dead cars are coming back to life with a supernatural vengeance. The resurrection trend now includes Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Jeep and Toyota, which are all resuscitating models that were discontinued years ago. Toyota

It's back. This sports car is the pride and joy of Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda himself. He wanted it back, and that's all that needed to be said.

Discontinued about 20 years ago, the Supra originally debuted as the Celica Supra in 1979. As a high-performance hatchback coupe of sorts, it gained a cult following in the 1980s, particularly among Generation X.

Now that Gen X has some serious cash to spend, Toyota is hoping to lure them back into the showroom alongside its lineup of trusty family cars.

3. Subaru WRX STI S209

Subaru is on an incredible hot streak in the U.S., having posted 85 straight months of year-over-year sales increases and an all-time high in 2018. The brand is now selling more vehicles in the U.S. than Hyundai.

As a limited-edition model, the WRX STI S209 probably won't add a lot to Subaru's sales total. But it will help the automaker maintain its cool factor.

Expect this fast and powerful car to make its presence known when it makes its world debut.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary at the Detroit auto show, Lexus is showing off its capability for raw speed.

The Lexus RC F Track Edition will make its global debut at the show. The Toyota luxury brand could also surprise us with something else, given the big deal the brand is making out of its three decades at the show.
